Chapter 222: Lei Kui

From the ancient ape on all fours to the Homo sapiens walking upright on both feet, it took tens of millions of years for human beings, but now, the speed of human evolution has suddenly accelerated, and Qi Lin can't help but be a little worried.

According to common sense, this is the same as the growth of seedlings, and there will be some hidden dangers in the end. For example, before the war, scientists proposed the "New Humanity Project", which directly adjusted the genetic sequence of embryos to create stronger and smarter babies.

This "New Humanity Project" was once seen as a new future after humanity's evolutionary journey had been almost unchanged for thousands of years.

Unfortunately, they failed, and most of the first 150 embryos provided by the volunteers died before they could get out of the test tube due to genetic collapse, and only three survived.

And the only three remaining embryos eventually became deformed monsters, and had to be "disposed of" before they were even born.

Now, this group of scientists has come up with this method to allow humans to evolve on their own, which sounds much more unreliable than the "New Humanity Project".

Thinking of this, Qi Lin hesitated for a moment, but still expressed his worries in one go.

Cheng Yanqiu listened to it and pondered for a few seconds before saying, "Your worries are not unreasonable...... However, I think that natural selection is the most powerful law on earth. ”

"If we don't take such extreme measures, it will be difficult to gain a foothold in the wasteland under the current human conditions...... Whether it's radiation, monsters, or a shortage of resources, it will directly lead to our extinction...... And only by evolution can we find a way out of a desperate situation. ”

"As the number of evolutionaries increases, people with genetically collapsed genes will definitely appear, but those who survive are the ones who succeed in evolution...... How can the evolution of any species not be accompanied by the corpses of thousands of elimination? ”

After Cheng Yanqiu finished speaking, everyone fell into silence.

This elite squad is also a second-level evolutionary at the very least, and if there is any genetic collapse that happens, they will probably be the "first batch of eliminators" in the new evolutionary history of humanity.

"Okay, at our current level, we're still far from the level of genetic collapse, let's not mention this." In the end, it was Cheng Yanqiu who broke the silence, took out two boxes of bullets from his backpack, put them on the ground, and lifted the lid.

Qi Lin saw that these were the two most common calibers besides the 5.8mm used in Huaxia, which were 7.62mm and 5.56mm, but this was the first time he had seen a bullet of this shape.

The entire bullet is made of alloy, and the bullet is covered with copper armor, but where the bullet is not covered by the copper armor, it can be seen that there are cutting grooves similar to grenade fragments.

"Modified dummy bombs?"

Qi Lin picked up a 7.62mm bullet, and his puzzled gaze swept over it.

The dummy bullet, also commonly known as the "blossom bullet", is a hollow warhead, the front end is not wrapped in armor, so after entering the human body, the internal lead core will come out of the armor under the action of inertia, and then deform, crack, roll, stir out a huge cavity in the flesh of the person who was shot.

Generally, the mortality rate of those who are hit by dummy bullets is very high, and even if they survive, most of them will inevitably end up amputated and disabled.

Because the bullet is so inhumane, it is banned by international conventions...... But in a real war, those conventions are nothing more than a dead letter, otherwise the surface of the earth would not have become a devastated wasteland.

However, although the dummy bullet is very powerful, due to the removal of the metal armor at the front of the bullet, it is not as good as the ordinary bullet in terms of penetration, like the empty tip bullet. Like the current mutated creatures with rough skin and thick flesh, it is likely that the dummy bullet will not be able to penetrate the opponent's skin.

The two boxes of bullets that Cheng Yanqiu took out seemed to have made some adjustments in structure, and metal armor was added to the front end of the warhead, which exposed the tail of the bullet.

"No, this is a new thing developed by one of our weapons factories under the Cheng consortium - Hg anti-personnel bombs. After the bullet is fired into the target's body, the warhead will be compressed and deformed along the cutting groove, and the mercury inside will be scattered and shot out on the vertical plane, which is very useful against advanced mutant creatures and evolutionaries. ”

"Mercury?" Qi Lin was slightly surprised, although he had never seen the actual combat effect of this bullet, but according to what Cheng Yanqiu said, this bullet would definitely increase the power of ordinary conventional firearms by more than double.

Mercury is not only high in mass and density, but it is also highly toxic if it bursts in the human body...... That picture, Qi Lin couldn't imagine it.

"yes...... I heard that the cost of this thing is quite high, but this time, it can just be used against those advanced evolutionaries of the Mutual Aid Society. ”

Including Qi Lin, several people divided the two boxes of mercury bullets in an instant, and the number was limited, and each person only got about twenty rounds.

Qi Lin pulled out several of the magazines of the SCAR-H on his body, and stuffed the twenty powerful bullets into the magazines in the order of one for every three regular bulletsβ€”he believed that these mercury lamps would definitely leave an unforgettable memory for the Templars of the Mutual Aid Society.

Just when everyone was loading the mercury bullets, a burst of engine sound suddenly came from the entrance of the gymnasium, Qi Lin and Cheng Yanqiu looked at the same time, only to see three off-road vehicles galloping in from outside, the piercing brakes sounded, and they stopped in front of a long row of tents.

"It seems that the commander of this force is here."

Before Cheng Yanqiu finished speaking, a man wearing a gray-green combat uniform, a tower-like man jumped from the co-pilot of the first car and looked around the entire gymnasium.

"Reque? Is it him? After seeing the appearance of this "commander" clearly, Cheng Yanqiu's face couldn't help but show a strange look.

"Reque? What's wrong with this person? Qi Lin turned his head and wondered a little.

"You know about that wasteland survival Grand Prix? It's the time you won the championship. Cheng Yanqiu clasped his arms around his chest and said slowly.

"He planned it?!"

"It's not him, that time it was Lei Muyun, the fourth young master of the Lei family's family, at that time, the E-grade serum you asked for seemed to be a conflict between Lei Mu, and he would make a hindrance from it, wanting you to die in the ruins of the city, and by the way, you could trap the 'Krein' who was stirring up the situation, but who knew that you not only killed Clayin, but also won the final championship." Cheng Yanqiu said, it seems that he has already investigated all the details of Qi Lin's past.

"Then what does this Lei Kui have to do with that Lei Mu?"

"The Lei family is one of the seven controlling families behind the consortium alliance, and this Lei Kui is Lei Muyun's cousin, and he has a close relationship with Lei Muyun."

"So, this Rekui is likely to come to me for trouble?" Qi Lin looked at the tall figure of the man in the distance, and casually pulled the bolt of the SCAR, and there was a crisp sound of loading bullets immediately from inside the bolt.

"It's not very likely, it's going to come to you for trouble. As far as I know, that Lei Muyun is a person who holds a lot of grudges. ”
